Instant Karma

By: Marissa Meyer

Narrated by: Rebecca Soler

Length: 14 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

In New York Times best-selling author Marissa Meyer's young adult contemporary romance, a girl is suddenly gifted with the ability to cast instant karma on those around her—both good and bad.

Chronic overachiever Prudence Daniels is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her.

Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals.

When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue center for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals—not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed...love and hate...and fate.

I love Marissa Meyer & Rebecca Soler!!

I am a huge fan of Ms Meyer and really love Ms Soler as a narrator of her books! Her stories are just have a way of capturing your attention quickly. This book is a bit different since it is not part of her fantasy ones, but hMs Meyer's magic doesn't disappoint!

Cute Story

I choose this book after listening to the Cinder, Scarlet, Stars Above, etc. series. Which I enjoyed!
This book was good , But a little too long and didn't have the depth of the Series.
Rebecca Soler, as always brings the story to life!

Clever!!

Clever concept. Loved the characters & storyline. Couldn't stop listening!! Please make it a series!

5 Star listen

Marissa hit it out of the park again, and Rebecca bringing the characters to life is like coming home.

high school summer romance

It's an awkward teenage romance between a Little Miss Perfectionist and You Don't Know My Story.

Prudence (Little Miss Perfectionist) hits her head and gets the ability to dole out Karmic justice - except it doesn't work on one person.

Pru is a too controlling, rude, and oblivious that people can do things just as well - if not better - than her, and over the course of a summer learns to be a little easier to get along with.

Audiobook narrator performance was great, yet Pru is just hard to wrap my head around.

An amazing read...I was hooked from page 1!

This was such a well written out story, a mystery, a romance, and saving animals?! I’m all in.

SUCH A CUTE BOOK!!!

I love pretty much anything from Marissa Meyer and Rebecca Soler is my favorite narrator! but this story is so cute! the relationship builds in a way I find natural and the story is like the perfect teen beach movie but in book form! also it made me wanna go clean up a beach or rescue a sea lion! definitely recommend it! it is a light fun story!

Sweet eco friendly 💚 story!

This adorable story follows Prudence and Quint and their efforts to not kill one another, help save the animal rescue center, and resubmit their marine biology project. Typical rom-com feel. I found Prudence very relatable. Many of her character flaws have been mine over the years and the growth she makes, is growth I too have made. I did a lot of laughing and eye rolling. Her character may be hard for some to swallow, but she is just a realist trying her hardest! Quint's influence is heart warming and I can think of many Quint's in my own life who have helped me lighten up.

It was okay

I’m a big Marissa Meyer fan, however, this book was just a tad too long for my taste. The story took a little too long to develop and then left me wanting a little bit more.
With all that in mind, it was a fun cutesy story and in the end, I did enjoy myself.

Cute YA Contemporary Romance

It took me a little while to get into this book because I found the main character pretty annoying at the beginning, but by the second half I was hooked and couldn't stop listening! I would love to see this made into a movie someday. It would make such a cute rom com!
